Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Floral gowns and gala jewels were all the rage at yesterday’s representation dinner in Stockholm, which was attended by several members of the Swedish royal family (and, most importantly, by three royal tiaras).
In today’s article at Hidden Gems, I’m continuing the tale of the Connaught family’s tour of the Mediterranean in 1905. In this week’s installment, Princess Margaret finally meets her husband-to-be, Prince Gustaf, in Cairo. As bonus reading today, I’ve got a peek at some of the grand tiaras that were being worn at the royal court of Gustaf’s grandfather, King Oscar II, in 1905, including jewels that belonged to Queen Sofia and Crown Princess Victoria.
The Emperor of Japan wasn’t the only royal celebrating a birthday this weekend. In Sweden, the royal court marked Princess Estelle’s birthday with a set of lovely new royal portraits.
